Just Short of Perfection
I love perfecting games. Now, due to the time and effort it takes i've only really perfected 2 or 3. On FFXII I have 150+ hours, I'm halfway to killing Yiazmat, about a quarter way of getting the Tournesol, and trying to collect all of the other rare items. All other sidequests are complete including espers and zodiac spear and main party lv. 94 backup party lv. 85. I'm not trying to brag. I would like to think that this would be the most exciting phase of perfecting the game, but about a month and a half ago I suddenly lost all drive and motivation to finish. I still get urges to play but i'm too lazy to put it in because i know that i have at least 20+ hours of boring collecting and whatnot to do. Has anyone else had a similar experience with 12 or any RPG?

I've perfected FFIX several of times, and I still enjoy doing it. I would love to perfect FFV and all of the jobs, but I simply do not have the time to do it at the moment.

Totally, and psychiatrists would have a field day with us man. There is something utterly compelling about getting 100%/all the items. I think its a little like obsessive collecting, hey, its just our natural geeky need to concentrate on something utterly pointless.

the only one i can say i completely perfected was FFX, i finished up the sphere grid with everyone got all the ultimate weapons, beat every arena boss, and did every sidequest. that was the best game as far as side quests and extras in the series IMO.

Yup. I have beaten Yiazmat, and all I have left to fight now is Zodiark and Omega... but FFXII hasn't been in my PS2 for weeks. I guess I got tired of it.

I think that perfecting/maximizing games is my favorite part of it all. I don't know why but you get some kind of feeling of accomplishement or something when you look at your perfect game, or maybe it's just me.
Valiant did you re-write the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X?

Ive completely perfected FF7 FF8 FF9 FF10 FFx-2 and ff12 with all items in each one. Each one took me over 200 hours save ff12 which took me 170 something.

Lol... I think most die-hard fans will admit to being obsessive when it comes to gathering every item, every secret, every hidden character and what not in a Final Fantasy...
Final Fantasy’s that I’ve perfected are: Final Fantasy VIII, IX, X and X-2.

I have, only because I'd get so into them, and not get far into them at all, and it just keeps me back from enjoying the game, and it keeps me way too long from going forward
